§ 7. Mr. LazarowiczTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps the Government are taking to implement all aspects of the Belfast Agreement. [42009]
§ Dr. John ReidEnormous progress has been made. We have fully functioning institutions; a fundamental reform of policing is under way; we have rights protection arrangements that are second to none; and the normalisation of life continues as the conflict is put behind us, a transformation symbolised by the significant act of decommissioning last year. All those involved need to maintain their efforts in order to complete implementation of the Agreement, in a way that engages the commitment of all parts of the community in Northern Ireland.
